Epic comeback? Sure. Historic comeback? These stats say yes.

To put some historical context on the Knicks’ remarkable win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, it was the rarest of comebacks.

Since 1997, teams were 1-594 when trailing by 22 points or more in the fourth quarter of a playoff game, according to the NBA. Now it’s 2-594, thanks to the Knicks.

It was the largest playoff comeback in Knicks franchise history. It also was the largest conference finals comeback since 1997, when play-by-play statistics were first tracked by the NBA.

The NBA said it was the first time in history that both Game 1s of the conference finals went to overtime. The Spurs beat the Thunder in double overtime in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Monday night.
